Bimota Tesi H2
The Bimota Tesi H2 has a top speed of ~270 km/h (estimated; limited by electronics — note: estimate), produces 200 hp and weighs 215 kg. Motoryk rates it 8.2/10.
El Bimota Tesi H2 se presentó en 2021 como una colaboración histórica entre el fabricante boutique italiano Bimota y Kawasaki, tras la adquisición por parte de Kawasaki de una participación del 49,9% en Bimota en 2019. Revive el icónico concepto de dirección centrado en el cubo «Tesi» (que significa «tesis» en italiano) de Bimota, que se estrenó originalmente en 1990, sustituyendo las horquillas telescópicas tradicionales por un exclusivo sistema de suspensión delantera centrado en el cubo que separa las fuerzas de frenado y dirección. La Tesi H2 destaca especialmente por estar propulsada por una versión sobrealimentada del motor H2 de Kawasaki, lo que la convierte en una de las motocicletas de producción más exóticas y caras jamás construidas, con un precio que supera los 60 000 dólares.

Lo que los compradores deben saber
Hub-Center Steering System
The Tesi H2 uses a unique hub-center steering design instead of conventional forks, completely separating braking and steering forces for exceptional stability. This system requires specialized knowledge to service, so finding a qualified mechanic can be challenging and costly.
Strong Resale Value
With a production run limited to around 250 units globally, the Tesi H2 holds its value exceptionally well and is considered a collector's item even as a used bike. Prices rarely drop significantly below the original MSRP of approximately $40,000–$50,000 USD.
Kawasaki H2 Reliability
The supercharged 998cc engine is sourced directly from Kawasaki's proven Ninja H2, meaning the powertrain is well-documented and relatively reliable for a high-performance motor. However, the supercharger adds complexity and should be inspected carefully on any used example.

Reseña de un comprador usado
"The most technically fascinating motorcycle money can buy used, barely."
$52,000-$72,000 usedLet's be honest: the Tesi H2 is one of the most insane motorcycles ever bolted together. Kawasaki's supercharged H2 engine stuffed into Bimota's hub-center steering chassis sounds like a fever dream, and riding one confirms it. That steering geometry genuinely eliminates dive under braking in a way that rewires your brain — corner entry confidence is unlike anything else on two wheels. The 228 horsepower figure is almost beside the point; it's the exotic mechanical experience that justifies the price tag. Buying used though? Do your homework obsessively. These bikes saw limited production and attracted owners who either babied them as investments or absolutely hammered them on track days. There's very little middle ground. Get a full service history, check the supercharger belt condition specifically, and budget serious money for maintenance — Bimota dealer networks are thin and labor rates are brutal. Parts availability can make a grown man weep.
